#72 - Pistons-Pelicans - 3pm ET

Holland's game reminds me a bit of young Eddie Jones (late 90s Teal days) but Eddie was a better shooter right away.... Jones was a pesky defender who could really fly (put some people on posters) and would often attack the rim at full speed. If Holland can get more reliable on that shot turning into an Eddie Jones type would be a pretty great career for him.

Yeah, I can see that too.

And agree with Billl that it looks like his shot should improve. He's got good form and he seems like type to put in the reps. I have far more confidence in him than Ausar in developing a consistent shot.

Holland is a crazy good finisher when he’s in a rhythm. Quick euro steps, long strides then short ones, big elevation, dunks or layups. He has a bright future regardless, but if he can reach league average on his threes and force hard closeouts, he’s gonna be a real handful.

Didn't like the holland pick but he has won me over throughout the course of the season. Dude is fearless, has great instincts and has a knack for finding unorthodox ways to get the ball into the hoop.

Ron Holland is like no one before him.

In all fairness, Jones was 23 on his debut and Holland was 18

Sounds odd to say but I'm looking forward to the tougher schedule coming up. It's nice to see the Pistons rack up wins but it's still hard to tell what this team is because the schedule has been so soft for so long so it'll be nice to see how they stack up against good teams coming up, assuming they don't load manage a bunch of guys smh.

Yes, that's the biggest surprise, not just last game but in general he is a good finisher, he's the opposite of Ausar around the rim. He may end up being a better people than players think, cause his outside shot isn't all that broken either.

Cade gave the belt to Sasser over Holland.

Little weird, but Holland will get his, maybe why he did it

Cade knew how much they needed Sasser last night with him out. Team high +18, 20 points on 9 fga, no turnovers.

As others have already said. If you just accept Sasser for what he is (1 on defense. 2 on offense), he’s pretty solid.

Sasser was also great in the game with big shots and he's been having the tough part of being out of the rotation since the deadline. Previously out of the rotation until Ivey went down.... he's been a pro and game in and performed when called on. Good to see him get it IMO also RH2 would have been deserving as well.

1 on defense. 2 on offense, agree 100% he can play with Cade whit this role.

Marcus and Ron were both deserving, but no player has sacrificed more without making a fuss this season than Marcus. He's been a good teammate, and this was a smart way to go. Everybody knows how I hate going out on a limb, but this Holland kid might be okay when he grows up.
